I am notoriously not thin skinned and besides I did not take it as a personal attack. The questions were asked in good faith and I answered in kind.
I could build a static page of plain text in a back corner of the dark web and I'm sure the two people who ever visited the site would love it. I am trying to build a business and the honest truth is that most people just don't want it. I have limited time and unless it delivers more traffic or members it's not a priority.
I am doing my best to offer value with both free and paid guides. Hopefully people receive value from them. I have no interest in monetization running ads or sketchy VPN sponsorships.

Most people don't build an identity strategy.
They inherit one by accident, reuse handles for years, then wonder why old accounts keep reconnecting everything after cleanup.

Ooo knives out boys. Since you gave me a Martin Luther style list, I'll respond in kind.
1. Correct. I do not have a onion address. I thought about adding one but decided it wasn't worth the effort and it wouldn't help with discovery. If demand is there I will add one in the future.
2. Partially correct. I do not ask for a name, only an email address. The address is there so you can reset accounts, receive updates, get the newsletter, and yes I occasionally send out marketing offers of hey check this out. There are a million different way to mask or generate burner email addresses, I have several guides on the topic. Email is antiquated technology but still necessary to contact people.
3. Correct. I use the Stripe plugin. It's easy. It connects directly to a business bank account. I can pay the site's bills without converting anything or tax hassles. I would like to add bitcoin payments but haven't gotten around to it yet.
4. Incorrect. Stripe I have already covered and the sites DNS and malware protection runs through Cloudflare. As for the others I use the Lead Connector plug in. It's what does the fancy sign up blocks, store front, provides email automation, and the structure for the mini learning courses. Unfortunately it's made for the masses so has built in ability for tracking pixels for facebook, google, etc. For those pixels to work they have to have a pixel ID and manager account with those platforms. I do not. They are empty slots that do not do or go anywhere. I have a privacy policy that covers what the site does and does not collect.

Hmmm you didn't give enough information to really answer. What's the capability of the machine? Using it as a single workstation or a dedicated node on your network?
If the laptop is old as dirt and barely runs anything well, then strip it down to a ghost machine. Remove the hard drive, camera, and mic. Then use it as a dedicated tails OS machine. Take it anywhere on the go and if it gets stolen they get nothing.
If it's beefier then throw proxmox on it and plug it into your network. Spin up VMs for all kinds of uses from any machine. Test different OS's or play with networking.

As mentioned Mynymbox or Flokinet both allow non-kyc accounts and crypto payments. Every hosting service or domain name service I've ever seen even with kyc has privacy protection (for a fee) so your real name isn't listed. Obviously the service knows, but not shared with the wider internet.
